Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
The book displays minor spine stress ticks, some of which may break color. Light blunting on the top-right and bottom-left corners. The gloss appears high, and the edges seem relatively sharp, but there is visible light shelf wear near the spine and along the white bottom border of the 'Motorstorm' lettering.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 / Graded (9.8): $35 - $50
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies have sold consistently in the $4 to $7 range. It is not a high-demand key issue, so prices remain stable near cover price.
Grading Recommendation

Notable Features
Includes a UPC barcode for Direct Edition. Features the 'Motorstorm' title branding at the bottom. Noted as a 'Rated A' book by Marvel.
Authentication Notes
The book appears to be an authentic 2011 Marvel modern age comic. High-quality semi-glossy cover stock and modern ink registration are consistent with Marvel's production standards from this era. No signs of counterfeiting present.
